Best suggestion that I can now offer. Would be to get his military records from the National Archives. Possibly more records may be had from England records of the early colonists. Hanged for treason, etc. as Col Ambrose was done. For lack of anything there, check with the states of Maryland and Virginia. Very early records of both states. Who came when, where, how, etc. Those records must be well documented someplace. They have evaded me. Not for lack of trying, but my family MILLS was mostly of Ohio, at the time of my immediate research. So Virginia and Maryland, did not hold my attention for long. Very sad now, as I can see, Again HINDSIGHT, is coming back to bite me. Best to all of you. cw In a message dated 10/1/2008 8:39:54 A.M.

I can't come up with any "facts" to satisfy me that he was the son of William Mills who died in Amherst County, Virginia. I know that man had a son Ambrose, but what makes that Ambrose, the same as Col. Ambrose Mills? Why couldn't William's son be the Ambrose Mills who shows up in Lunenburg County? Or was Col. Ambrose Mills in Lunenburg County before going to South Carolina? I've seen reports that Ambrose married in Maryland. William Mills was in Albemarle/Amherst County when his son Ambrose was of marrying age. I've seen reports that Col. Ambrose Mills had a sister who married a Watts. What ties Col. Ambrose Mills to the Watts woman, other than speculation? And who said Col. Ambrose Mills was born in England? Proof? There was a William Mills imported to the colonies in 1721. Couldn't he be the William Mills of Amherst County and not the father of Col. Ambrose? I doubt an indentured man would come to the colony with a small child. Any help would be appreciated.
